An Extension Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Remibrutinib in Participants With Moderate to Severe HS

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of remibrutinib (LOU064) in adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) who have completed either of the preceding Phase 3 studies, CLOU064J12301 or CLOU064J12302. This is a global Phase 3, multicentre, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group extension study. It fulfils the Novartis commitment to provide post-trial access.

The study includes a double-blind and an open-label treatment phase:

Double-blind, double-dummy treatment continues from Week 68 (end of core study) until final database lock (DBL) of both core studies or until up titration. Participants remain on the same blinded regimen they were on during Treatment Period 2 of the preceding Phase 3 studies.

After final DBL of both core studies, treatment transitions to open-label.

Participants will continue treatment until commercial availability and reimbursement in their country, another access mechanism is available, or 4 years of extension treatment is completed.

Participants who discontinue treatment early or do not transition to commercial remibrutinib will enter a 4-week treatment-free safety follow-up.
